Ep. 283: The Padding-verse

<p>We’re a week out from the Royal Rumble! Time to break it all down on NEW episode of <i>Tights and Fights</i>!</p><p>There were a couple of big stories that involved real life difficulties: 1) Mustafa Ali has asked for his release, but WWE is reportedly not going to provide him with it. 2) Jon Moxley is back in a wrestling ring looking as healthy as ever after his sabbatical. Both hit our emotions hard in completely different ways.</p><p>And even as the seeds for WrestleMania slowly take shape, we’re excited for some of the Royal Rumble matches in their own right. Roman vs. Seth! Brock vs. Bobby! </p><p>All that, plus a look at the AEW women’s division… which seems to be taking baby steps towards improvement?</p><p><strong>The Main Event</strong></p><p>WALTER was one of the last major signings onto NXT.
